Turkey, Bean, and Kale Soup




This is a fast soup. I pretty much threw everything in but the kitchen sink and it STILL turned out fine. Very hearty, enough to be a meal all on its own, although I served mine with fluffy corn bread, and that was plenty. I just love how vibrant it looked and I didn't feel bad about eating it, because it's not super creamy based, it's chock full of protein, potassium, and even calcium. I've been trying to incorporate a lot of foods that directly boost my eyes, because I've always battled with them, and I'm all about treating things naturally! (hence, the carrots and kale..) I pray you enjoy the soup!

You'll need:
2 cups (cooked)shredded or diced boneless turkey breast
2 cans white northern beans
2-3 cups leafy Kale
1 cup carrots chopped
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne
1 tablespoon parsley
Fresh ground pepper
Salt to taste
2 cups water ( give or take how thick you want it)
2 cups red skinned potatoes chopped and diced into cubes

Method:
Seriously, just throw all of these ingredients in a large pot, in whatever order you choose, and just simmer on medium until everything is cooked to your liking and all ingredients are heated throughout. Add or subtract whatever you'd like.
